Joy

I watch the Eagle flying high in all its glory.

It takes one swift swoop and perches on a fence,

Holding it's head high, and proudly.

I taste the icecream on the cone before me,

I savour the cool, creamy, sugary, sweet taste,

My taste buds thank me, but I won't finish

it in haste!

I hear the happy laughter of children playing,

It fills my ears with melodies reminding me

of happy times gone by; but in my mind,

Still lingering.

I touch a velvet green leaf on a tree,

It's softness reminds me that,

I am free.

I smell the astringent but beautiful smell

of a pink rose.

It reminds me that summer is close.

And with sadness, it's suddenly dark,

But I smile when I remember,

My happy walk in the park.

And as I remember the beauty I have

seen today,

I realize that there is joy in Every day.
